Hi there
Learning to drive the new 200mm skywatcher dob. I've been pleased so far with views of 47 Tucanae, Orion nebula, Tarantula nebula and Jewel Box in Crux. A (minor) problem is that in my main observing site (back garden) trees block view to ~30 degrees above horizon and best viewing is at zenith. I went looking for NGC55 but the sky was fairly light with the moon and light pollution. At mag 7.9 should I have been able to find it? (I wondered if I did - a short linear faint fuzzy blob with a brighter blob at either end close by alpha phe... ). Advice on what I can expect to see welcome! Also, what some good "targets" are given the limitations of the viewing site.
